Numerous LGBT leaders endorse National Equality March

Organizers garner massive support as momentum builds for the event

Over 150 notable leaders in, and supporters of, the LGBT community have recently endorsed the National Equality March, urging people to join them and make their way to Washington, D.C. on Oct. 11, and proving to skeptics that the NEM can garner high-profile support from such key members within the community.

In reaction to the growing list of notable supporters, David Mixner stated that, "Seeing such a massive outpouring of support for the National Equality March from such powerful leaders in the LGBT community is inspiring and awesome."

Equality Across America Director Kip Williams expressed sincere appreciation for this recent group of high-profile endorsements. "I'm touched by the support of folks from all walks of life," he said. "Celebrities, elected officials, faith leader, and LGBT movers and shakers have joined the grassroots rank and file to support the National Equality March."

Equality Across America is a network of decentralized organizers in every one of the 435 Congressional districts. These organizers form Congressional District Action Teams that work within their own communities to achieve full equality for LGBT Americans and their families.

Williams went on to address the event's true mission. "We all know it's time to demand equal protection under the law," he said, "so we're taking our message to the front door of Congress this October."

The National Equality March is being organized by the EAA to show broad-based support for full equality for LGBT Americans on the doorstep of those who can make that happen: the United States Congress. The event will be held Saturday, Oct. 10, and Sunday, Oct. 11 in Washington, D.C.
